This Spruce Cemetery is located 6 miles east of Roseau MN on State
Highway #11. You will see the cemetery on your right or south side,
a short ways off the highway. The cemetery is on the west side of
County Road #9.

This 2 acres of Spruce Cemetery was established in 1915 on land
donated by Andrew C Jensen, to be used for both church and cemetery.
The 1st burial could have been in 1903 that of a Mr. Albert Jensen.
It was used by the 'Gol Menighets Kirke' meaning Gol Congregation.

The original Gol Church was moved to another location many years
ago. A small replica of the original church is situated inside
the cemetery. There is a 1912 Gol Menighet sign on the front of
the building. It also displays a burial listing and older records
as well as a photo of the church inside. All work completed by
volunteers.

The township now owns this cemetery which has been in much need
of improvements. It now has a very caring gracious warm appearance
as a result of the many volunteers that have set a goal for the
improvements to be done. Other volunteers are welcome qne donations
are always welcome.

A listing of some of those buried here was obtained from Ludvig
A. Lund and checking cemetery records in the surrounding area,
we could not find any of these names buried elsewhere as many
graves are no longer marked at this site, the cemetery is no longer
used for burials, except for reserved burial lots.

Eunice Lund and I did a complete walk thru, reading all of the
legible and existing headstones. This is a completed transcript
as of Feb 01, 2011. A digital camera has been used for pictures.
